Insurance SWindie.

Insurance Swindie.
Chicago, November 16.--A News
special from Joliet says: The sensa-
tional developments were continued
to-day in the suit OF the Cal fornia
Insurance Company against the Lam
bert & Bishop wire fence company,
for the recovery Of insurance money
paid the latter firm on the loss of their
wire factory by fire. Ex-Superintend-
ent White of the wire company was
under cross-examination most OF the
day. He described infinitely the
machine by which he fred the build
ing and swore that the President of
the company supervised it's construc-
ton. The object he said was to get
rid of the old mill and build a new
one, the plans Of which he drafted
before the fire.
Several witnesses corroborated Ger
tain details of Whites testimony, and
attempts were made by the defense to
show that White was in the employ Of
the insurance company to make an
expose in order that the company
might get back the money paid on the
loss. They also moved for a warrant
fer Whites arrest as a self-confessed
criminal. The trial is very sensa.
| tional.
